Biography

Diane Honer has had a love for the natural world and art from childhood. She studied fine arts at Colgate University and the Art Students League in New York. Inspired by the beauty, color and textural qualities of natural materials, she is influenced by her study of ancient and tribal jewelry.

Diane creates woven and crocheted wire necklaces using bone, shell, wood, glass and semi-precious stone beads. Her work has been described as “organic” and “elegant.” Additionally, she enjoys creations with a surprise element of natural materials combined with highly refined manufactured materials. Diane’s current work also includes wool-felted soaps with natural adornments and whimsical felted animals.

Idiom in New Haven and The Red Pepper in Chester have featured her jewelry at trunk shows. Her work is available through these two venues and at Tracy Brent Collections in Guilford. She has been a part of the Arts Center Killingworth Autumn Art Weekend and the Shoreline Unitarian Arts Show. Her work was featured at the Easton Library January 9th through February 21st of 2014.

Proceeds from her artwork go to support her other love, the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured wildlife. In this way the natural world not only inspires, but benefits from her artistic work.
